Put bluntly, these guys are bitter. The most climbing they’ve done in the last month is the moment first thing in the morning (and again after their afternoon nap) when they climb out of bed…The closest these old guys get to V3 is the V8 they have in the morning with their daily fiber drink.

Maybe your work or high school is filled with catty, backstabbers that talk shit, but climbing is not like this.

A noob obviously placed that bigbeerbro. Sling in the middle? Really? Always slide the sling over to one side of the can. By the way, the knot in that dyneema will reduce the strength of it by 72.5498256% exactly. I know because I saw it on MP.com

Ah, I remember a time not long ago, when forums progressed naturally - without moderator interference, lacking moronic questions posed by noobs. When the old dudes and young alike traded quips without getting all "butt hurt." Those were the days...

It all changed when Bob D. erased his profile and all of his contributions. Now we live in a politically correct(ed) mountain project world, where people get offended by random anonymous posts that must be deleted at once for fear of hurt feelings. What has this database come to? Where do we go from here?

IDK, something about mediocre climbing ability mixed with mediocre understanding of climbing all the while wanting people to appreciate your opinion seems to be the trend. If they don't hold your hand and tell you what a nice job your doing out comes the whining. I spect when you have jumped through some "hoops", and have actually accomplished "stuff", it gets harder to offend.

best reply!

hopefully no one is getting their panties in a bunch too much over this one, Samson wrote this to get some laughs, and just give a couple pointers (especially the part about not buying hexes). I mean how many of us bought hexes to start and then sold them off to a younger climber? I know I did.
